Thanks, I'll have a detailed look. I already knew about your engine..
i didn't know it supports so many bsp formats though :)

Where can I find this quake1.wad? I searched here:
https://zerowing.idsoftware.com/svn/radiant.gamepacks/Q1Pack/trunk/
but it is not there... Perhaps I can generate the wad from the bsp
files... but that would be pointless if the file already exists
somewhere.

I'd like to make this patch, but I don't know the procedure... I guess
I have to checkout the latest revision, and fix the code, but then
what do I do?

The problem arised because GTK+ is probably no longer using the
'page-size' property of GtkAdjustment (not sure tho), and now it's
issuing a warning for each Adjustment it finds with a non-zero page
size. I guess GtkRadiant will just have to comply :P
